“Peace be with you, Mani, both from myself and from the Lord Who sent me to you and Who chose you for His message. He has commanded you to invite (others) in your own right and to preach on His behalf the Truth, laying it upon you to do so with your utmost effort.”*
“Very many are the visions and very great the marvels which he showed me throughout all that period of my youth.”**
